Hello,
I’m looking into purchasing a Druine (french wooden homebuilt) and am looking for advice on inspecting the structure. I have mirror, flashlight and boroscope at hand.
I’m reading up on wood construction currently.
I’d be very interested to see some examples of good vs bad (e.g. cracks etc..) to better understand what to look for.
Thanks!
